Age requirement for Perfectly Princess Tea Party?!

[sydprincess]

I just read that the minimum age to attend this is 3. Is that right? Will they refuse to allow me to bring my 2 year old with if my 5 year old is attending? My husband and I wanted to take both girls to this. Anyone know?! Thanks!

Maybe if you are lucky at 2 she'd be considered free - receiving none of the extras and eating off your plate. If this is so, I bet for the $135 savings you could more than buy her one of the dolls afterward in the Gift Shop.

I think if you wanted all the extras they would be more than happy to let you pay for another. I am taking my twins there in April but they just turned 3.

i would call and check - otherwise, you risk being turned away at the door.

I would suggest wait until your next trip when both would be eligible. Either that or say she is three and pay for her.

 

[sydprincess]

That's what I was thinking- just says she's three because I don't want to leave her out of it. I don't care paying for her, I just didn't want to have her turned away. Thanks!

I wouldn't be comfortable taking my 2-yo just because the parents don't stay, or am I thinking of the wrong thing? I thought the PPTP was the one where the parents leave, at least leave the room?

I could be wrong, and if I am, my apologies.

WOnderland tea party is drop off the kids 4-10. And instead of the $200 (adult + child) price tag it is more like $30 per child.

Hi all!

My daughter was just three last year and absolutely adored the Wonderland Tea Party!

A CM told me that the age limit was set to be sure that the child is potty trained. The Wonderland Tea is only an hour long so you can judge if you think your little one is ready. They issued us a pager and we went for a cool drink closeby out near the pool.

Here's a hint-
There is one very long beautifully set table. Chairs on the long sides are for the children but the two chairs on the short ends are for Alice and the Mad Hatter. When the doors are opened to let the kids in, you are allowed to help them into their seats. Just "steer" them into one of the end chairs and they will be sitting right next to a character! (Adults are all ordered out of the room before the party can begin.)

Oh, and don't forget to send them with a disposable camera. Write their name really big on the front and tell them to smile whenever they see their name. The CM's took some great shots of my girls singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat" with the Hatter.

I just booked this (PPTP) for a client today:
Minimum age is 3, and one adult and one child is the minimum that can attend. Cost for additional adult is $65, second (or third or fourth...) child is $135, plus tax of course! (In case anyone was wondering about cost for additional guests!)

Sometimes age requirements are set for a reason. Maybe the program is not designed for children under three. There is a big difference between two year olds and three year olds. I am the director of a child development center and lots of mom seem to want their two year old daughters to move to the three year old room before they are three. We try it with some of the children but it rarely works well. Either the three year old teacher has to adjust her program down for the younger child, or the younger child is too disruptive and can't stay in the three year old program and has to return to the toddler program.

If Disney set the three year old policy because the program is geared for children at least three I wouldn't want to take my two year old who might disrupt the party. Not that the OPs child would, but there is a chance

They are eating food and listening to stories and songs- what 2 year old can't handle that?!

Several two year olds that I know can't sit long enough for stories and food. And the stories may not be at a level that they can understand. Most princess fairy tales (Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White) will not keep a two year olds interest.

A big thing with this meal though is that MOM is there. Activities may be geared to older but if mom is there to handle the younger so that her older child can participate...I'd say go for it if it is worth the expense to you. You know your child and you know if you'd likely be able to keep her entertained while still monitoring your older child.
